Wayne Newton Then
For decades, Wayne Newton has been one of the most well-known artists to come out of Las Vegas, Nevada. In his prime, he was a hot commodity, with Billboard Top 100 hits like “Daddy, Don’t You Walk Too Far” and “Years.” “Danke Schoen,” which was featured prominently in the iconic 1980s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, is perhaps his most recognized song. Many of the top-name entertainers of the 1970s backed Wayne Newton throughout his career, including Lucille Ball, George Burns, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, and Danny Thomas.

Wayne Newton’s personal life hasn’t been good, and his assets, in addition to his ever-expanding obesity, have been a complete mess. He was being probed for various sorts of financial mismanagement for the majority of the 2000s, and it all came to a head in 2012 when he filed for bankruptcy. The worst is over for Wayne, and he’s back in his former house after reaching a compromise with his creditors. Things aren’t all doom and gloom, though. Mr. Entertainment is committed to supporting diabetes research and treatment. That’s fantastic!
